Geo and GeoAssoc in Webtools

[Jacques Le Roux]

Hi,

I'd like to contribute minimal Find/Edit screens and services for Geo and GeoAssoc. I think it's place is in Webtools.
If nobody sees a problem with that, I will add a Miscellaneous (or rather Geo? Miscellaneous would allow to add more later... or I
just saw Misc. Setup Tools?) section in Main Page and will put links to screens there.

Thanks

Jacques

BTW I think I will add later screens for GeoType and and GeoAssocType, sot it sounds like a section Geo is better...
I wonder if at some point we could not even handle GeoPoint there...

Isn't Geo and its friends more like seed data rather than something that needs to be altered at runtime?

Yes that's what I tought also. But I had a discussion with Rupert Howell, and below is what he said.

<<I would have thought that a quick and easy way to group Geos together would be beneficial. It would have when we were dealing with
all of the Royal Mail and RMWE sort zones. I was thinking a simple screen with all the Geos listed by type, the ability to create a
new geo, then the ability to multi select from a left box and drag and drop over into the new geo to form the assoc would be a very
handy feature. That way when the zones change, or they want to create a new courier who uses bespoke zones, which in my experience
in the UK and US so far - is all of them (RM, CityLink, DPD, UPS, Fedex) they can do it themselves without manually importing
data.>>

Actually I tink the idea is to open these entities to users w/out XML editing experience and don't wanting to have their hands dirty
or are afraid of breaking things.
Also it'd be an easy way to add new custom geo types and use them.

For now I have simple screens (no drag&drop feature), I may improve...

Sounds reasonable enough, thanks for explaining.

hi, Jacques!
  when we open geo link page, the browser running icon keep on for a long time, then report me a warning, aks me whether kill the running script or go on, if I choose go on, the page will die . I don't if it's because too much data cause this issue, but the geo's data is always so large, please check .

[Jacques Le Roux]

Can you reproduce on trunk demo? For me all seems to work

Please use rather user ML for such questions, see why here :
